I edited this for a local sports ministry that i've done videos for before. Wasn't sure how it was gonna come out cause I didn't get as many shots as I had wished, but I really like the end product. It was filmed all handheld (forgot to turn the OIS on, DOH!) and in 720p @ 30fps. Graded in Magic Bullet and edited in FCP.
 
Looking nice - the handheld worked, I think, even without the OIS. The ministry the older teens were doing (moving boxes) didn't sound terribly exciting and the teens didn't sound excited talking about it, either. I'm not exactly sure what you as a videographer can do to address that, aside from maybe interviewing more teens to try and get someone more excited about it. But it's not a big deal - that's your subject matter, and it's just something that struck me that's worth thinking about.

The sermons were nicely edited - you managed to make them each 20 or 30 seconds which is about the limit of your viewer's attention span in this case. All in all the pacing was really nice. Shot selection and variety of angles in your shots was refreshing and kept things moving. Nice job. :)

I definitly agree that I should have tried to get more excited kids to talk on camera, that was on oversight by me. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks bro! Yeah I will be filming basketball and football, however i'll be filming it for the Comcast Varsity News Show full time, so I won't get the chance to do my own flashy highlights like I did when I was in High School Last Year.
